[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] Taking the LOAD off AOTA

[Karen Medina]

I saw/heard parts of last night's AWARE on the Air (Tuesday postponed
till Sunday for this past week). Good stuff, as always.

Too bad Paul Street won't be here for Tuesday's recording. That would
be sooooo cool.

But the Catholic Workers will be most wonderful, if they can come and
talk about Xe/Blackwater outing.
